SecondlaunchWV
K-12 SecondlaunchWV
The secondlaunchWV initiative is technology recycling at its best. We launched the program in June 2015 to recycle computers and other technology equipment no longer used by state agencies. We then clear data, and clean and upgrade the donated equipment to meet the requirements of programs used in schools. Computers, monitors, keyboards, and mice are packaged together for easy use and assembly and provided to schools at no cost. To date, we have reinvested 19,843 item within 47 counties and have saved $6,943,375 in technology costs.
Keep the following in mind:
- Power cords for laptops and other power adapters may not be available for the machines of your order. If any are available, they will be provided in your order.
- All available equipment is secondhand machines, meaning the casing may have scratches and dents. The machines are tested before being shipped to ensure proper working order.
- Equipment varies (processors, motherboards, display cards) despite having the same model numbers.
- When ordering a PC or printer, orders should not contain more than 25 PC's or 2 printers.
- Please allow ample time to get the machines imaged and ready for pick up.
- There may not be enough machines for an order; however, the inventory is kept up-to-date as much as possible on the request page. Any machine may be substituted for other machines depending on inventory.
Note: The inventory can only be accessed using a @k12.wv.us account.
Pre-K
Recycled technology goes beyond digital literacy. It establishes workplace skills such as critical thinking, independent research, and cross-technology expertise. The Pre-K secondlaunchWV initiative provides refurbished computers and other technology equipment to pre-k programs across the state, including Head Start and child care partners to support classrooms, teachers, and parent engagement.
Technology not used by state agencies are donated to us to wipe, clean and upgrade to meet the requirements of programs used in schools. Computers, monitors, keyboards and mice are packaged together (PC’s are wired) for ease of use and assembly and provided to schools at no cost. In some instances, printers, laptops, and other technology have become available through donations from government and private agencies invested in education.
Since 2018, we have partnered with many career technical education centers to refurbish equipment for county use. Through the secondlaunchWV program, libraries statewide have access to updated equipment. For many students, the local library is as a hub for technology, and this program ensures they have free access to quality technology when needed.
All items provided through the Pre-K secondlaunchWV are free and become yours when you receive them. Those who have received prior donations can request more technology as it becomes available.
